Anyones else e30 turn heads?

I know my cars not a gem and most people probably call it a stanced out shit box but that aside, its got to the point now where people are actually stopping their cars outside my house for a few minutes to look at my car, it really freaks me out a bit. Its getting moved inside next week for paint prep but still. Anyone elses car get similar attention? Not sure I like it

I used to get people knocking the door at all hours asking if the Cab was for sale when it was outside on the drive.
I even had some lads at about 10.30pm knocking the door, and my reply wasn't nice at that time of night! :evil:

I havnt had anyone ask if its for sale yet, most of them presume they cant afford it, which is good, because they cant.

Na the perverted sex group dont just stop outside, they bang on my bedroom window...

You wanna try driving a mint mk3 escort then, turn more heads and comments than the e30s

But a nice e30 always turns heads, had many a people ask me if my old is was for sale, even when leaving it at the garage to get things done,mot etc they always used to say people asked about it

The people I get knocking on the door!!! The fact I haven't been convicted for murder is nothing short of a bloody miracle.


I now find the funny side. People knock on the door and assume you don't know what you have. I just play along ... free entertainment

I had one chap convinced I would take his 02 corsa as a swap. Then I broke his heart.

:D

Poor chap, he went home and got the log book and car history.... How I chuckled.
